Please do not enter people's exact birth dates into Wikipedia. It helps to expose them to fraud.


 * I'm sorry. I'm new and sure to make mistakes. My first question is, Why should Bruce Perens' birth date remain private while his contemporaries in the open source computer business have their birth dates exposed? Examples of these are Richard Stallman and Eric S. Raymond. My second question is, How can I tell the difference when it is acceptable to publish an exact birth date, and when it is not? Almost every person I look up on Wikipedia has their birth date published: actors, musicians, athletes, astronauts, and many others. Thank you. 24.12.126.83 (talk) 23:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
